Building the engine bed
The engine can be used as a fixture to determine the
position of the engine bed.
Install the engine, the propeller shaft and the stern
bearing loosely in place. The engine must be connect-
ed to the propeller shaft.
Start building the bed in relation to the position of the
engine mounts.
When designing the engine bed, make sure that the
space for the flywheel housing, the bottom and sides
of the sump, etc. have a recommended clearance of
at least 20 mm (3/4").
